Valentine’s Day is coming quickly, and I love any excuse to eat chocolate! That was pretty much the extent of rationalization that I needed to make these doughnuts.
I also just bought myself some water chestnut flour, and I have to say that when it comes to egg-free paleo baking, water chestnut flour is a breakthrough!! Pick some up; I’ll definitely be doing more recipes with it!
These doughnuts taste like a cross between cake and brownies, and the salted toffee topping is pretty much the world. These didn’t last a day in our house!

Is it to remplace water chesnuts by an other kind of flour (almond flour or coconut flour)?
I think there was a reader that made these with almond flour.
The recipe states “2/3 cup water chestnut flour” – How much water? And how much chestnut flour?
It’s actually a flour made from water chestnuts 🙂
WOW, Heather! These look so yummy!
Thanks Sadie! 🙂
What can you substitute for the bananas?
Plantains perhaps?
